THE RAVEN BLOOD MOON
THE RAVEN BLOOD MOON
THE RAVEN BLOOD MOON is a full-bodied, med/full-strength 6.25x50 toro-extra. Wrapper is a gorgeous 11-year-aged San Andres maduro leaf. Binder and filler tobaccos will remain secret...but all tobaccos are between 6-14 years aged!
First light is an explosion of ultra-dark chocolate, dark brown sugar, black pepper, tanned leather, and stout beer. (The complexity is almost overwhelming) Espresso with cream, cane sugar, hazelnut and amaretto follow. The retrohale is strong adding a cayenne pepper burn.
As it progresses, caramel, bourbon whiskey, and candied walnut emerge. Hints of cloves, graham crackers, and cedar wood add amazing layers of complexity. The age of the tobacco is already shining through—giving the blend a richness that completely opulent!
Halfway, the flavors grow even richer! Mocha and heavy cream emerge. It's balanced beautifully by cardamom and nutmeg. A sweet raw can sugar note lingers long on the fIrish. So luscious!
Last third, everything crescendos! Coffee beans and raw cane sugar come to the fore. All-spice and raw honey join the mix. The flavors intensify all the way to the nub of the nub! This cigar is a complete masterpiece in every way!
